About Resident Evil 3

About this game

Join Jill Valentine, the heroine and amazing survivor of the notorious disaster at the mansion, as her nightmare continues. After resigning from S.T.A.R.S. Jill now prepares to head out of Raccoon City...but it's not going to be easy. Caught in a town crawling with flesh eating zombies, more than ever she must rely on brute force and cunning to find a way to escape alive. This unique adventure intricately reveals more of Umbrella Corporation's nightmarish plot and picks up just hours before the events from Resident Evil™ 2.

The third entry in the series received the same treatment as its predecessors – we brought it back and made it the best version possible. Here's what Resident Evil™ 3 on GOG offers:

  • Full compatibility with Windows 10 and Windows 11.
  • 6 localizations of the game included (English, German, French, Italian, Spanish, Japanese).
  • Mercenaries Mode included.
  • Improved DirectX game renderer.
  • New rendering options (Windowed Mode, Vertical Synchronization Control, Gamma Correction, Integer Scaling and more).
  • Improved graphics engine initialization and restart.
  • Improved video subtitles.
  • Improved options dialog.
  • Issue-less task switching.
  • Improved mouse cursor visibility.

Full support for modern controllers (Sony DualSense, Sony DualShock4, Microsoft Xbox Series, Microsoft Xbox One, Microsoft Xbox 360, Nintendo Switch, Logitech F series and many more) with optimal button binding regardless of the hardware, hotplugging and wireless mode.

Our version of the game keeps all the original content intact – 1999's description is no exception. Take a trip down memory lane and see how Resident Evil™ 3 was described to gamers when it launched all those years ago:

FEATURES:

  • Third person perspective.
  • 3D & 2D graphics

  • SCI-Fi, Horror & Zombies themes.

  • Face off against the most terrifying mutations stalking the streets of Raccoon City.
  • More detailed character actions: Try the dodge move to avoid an enemy's attack.
  • Interact with the environment like never before: Use background objects defensively.
  • A unique new drama which reveals more details of Umbrella Corporation's devious activities from the Resident Evil series.

Good sequel
Verified purchase
Aside from the game a tad shorter than the previous 2 new installments RE3 is a strong and challenging remake to the series. Nice level design and rendering. It takes a lot to run it at its best so if you've got the hardware for it go for it. Best to buy it on sale due to its lack of content.

Too rushed, short, repetitive; poorly made; RE2:Remake is better.

Kinda rushed and too short and repetitive. Funky AI too, especially with Nemesis. Overall felt weird to play, save for a few moments. Compared to RE2:Remake, this one is definitely inferior.

Very interesting but not truly faithful to the original

I really enjoyed playing RE 3 remake though would have loved it even more if it was as faithful to the original like RE 2 remake was to its own original and the nemesis in this remake is way too noisy, aggressive and everywhere which made it lose the horror effect Mr X had in RE 2 remake but all that aside the game is really good and fun to play.

pretty good remake, nice graphics and ambiance. didn't give 5 stars because some parts of the original are missing and the game feels a bit short.
